Homework Policy

Homework Policy

Your child will be receiving a homework grade in each of the subject areas (Spelling, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies). Each student starts off with 100% in each of these areas. Your child will keep that 100% throughout each quarter if their homework comes in each day complete. For each missed assignment, your child will bring home a pink slip that needs to be signed and returned with the homework the next day. Your child will also lose five points off the homework grade in that subject. At the end of the quarter, the points will be added up and subtracted from the 100% and will be counted as a quiz grade in that subject area.

Of course, if there is extenuating circumstances, the points will not be taken off! Please send in a note the morning the homework is due to explain why it isn’t completed and the assignment won’t be counted in the grade.
